EN­LIST TO HELP

The Sal­va­tion Army is search­ing for col­lec­tors for its an­nual Red Shield Ap­peal week at the start of May. The ap­peal raises funds to sup­port The Sal­va­tion Army’s front­line ser­vices tack­ling poverty in New Zealand. Sup­port is wide-rang­ing and in­cludes food and prac­ti­cal aid parcels, bud­get­ing ad­vice, so­cial work, coun­selling, ac­com­mo­da­tion as­sis­tance and more. While the Army has typ­i­cally used vol­un­teers from its staff and church mem­bers, this year it is of­fer­ing the pub­lic the chance to join for at least an hour. Peo­ple can sign up as a col­lec­tor by vis­it­ing www.sal­va­tion­army.org.nz.
